Safe Against Meningococcal B

Our school will be involved in B Part of It NT, a study of the Meningococcal B vaccine. The licenced vaccine is safe and proven to protect against meningococcal B disease, a rare but severe disease. 

The study nurses will visit schools across the Northern Territory in 2022 to offer free Meningococcal B vaccination to students in years 10, 11 and 12. Vaccinations with take place at St Philip's College on 29th and 30th March. 

Please return completed paper consent forms (arriving in the mail) to Student Access or have digital consent forms (link below) completed by 24th March.

If your child joined the study in 2021, you don’t need to sign another consent form for them this year.
